The issue with letting the North host Tests. I love the north of England, but the weather is crap. Lovely and sunny in Surrey.
Except the north east gets less rain than most other Test grounds in the UK. So the only thing going against it is the lack of floodlights.

It also always has something in it for all the bowlers. So you'll generally get great contests and a positive result.

Oh and it's most iconic feature wasn't a load of gas holders. And it's nowhere near London.

Atherton's private school point is a good one. The likes of Cook, Root were from normal backgrounds but got scholarships to private schools.
Private schools here are a joke, from a cricketing perspective. Because they breed plastiscine, purse carrying nancy boys.

Much like Cook and Atherton.

I agree with those who think the poor climate in North East England is caused by a lack of private schools.

Have we had enough spinners since Warne to get a full 11? Agar to open if we do.
Macgill
Hogg
Casson
White
Krezja
Hauritz
McGain
Smith
Doherty
Beer
Lyon
Maxwell
Agar

Might have missed one or two. Not sure if Maxwell was actually selected as a spinner, Smith definitely was.
